The Baltimore Business Journal

Gov. Larry Hogan wanted to talk baseball. But the governor, in town for Opening Day, couldn't escape the question about whether Mayor Catherine Pugh should resign amid the "Healthy Holly" book scandal. 

He said it was up to the mayor to decide whether to resign. Though he doesn’t think she can do her job effectively. He said he was waiting for the investigation by the state prosecutor's office on allegations of self-dealing involving Pugh in her role as a former member of the University of Maryland Medical System.

"I don’t think we’re done with it yet," the governor said.
